I need a drink

Yes, I’m not alone in that. The whole of Melbourne, the whole of VICTORIA, is drier than a dead dingo’s donger. And that’s dry.

Luckily our political lords and masters, far-seeing and omnipotent people that they are, have come up with a super-dooper plan to make sure we don’t all die of parchedness. Yes, we’re going to build a bloody great factory to make water and we’re going to plonk it down near Wonthaggi.

The good people of Wonthaggi are, predictably, complaining big-time. It’s hard to have sympathy for a town who’s major attraction is an abandoned coal-mine.

The other big idea is building a bloody great big pipeline from the Goulburn river down to us.

As always, when it comes to bloody great plans to fix climate change, the Americans are way ahead of us:

Running
None yet today, but if you’re standing around somewhere in the Croydon vicinity tonight watch out for a dashingly handsome figure of a man flitting, gazelle-like, down the back streets.

That’ll be me. Either that or you need to cut down on the medication.
